Digital twin · Facility operationsA digital twin that breathes.
TwinMs is the first Saudi-built digital twin platform for built environments and operations in the MENA region. The same ISO 19650 BIM model that engineered the building — now wired to live operations.

The 3D twin
Not a render. A navigable building.
Built in Unreal Engine on top of LiDAR scans and Gaussian splatting, TwinMs is a navigable replica of the real building — every floor, every space, every fixture — that talks back to live sensor data.
- Unreal Engine 3DWalk the floor plate. Click an asset. The dashboard follows you.
- LiDAR + splattingScanned reality, not artist renders — geometry that matches the as-built.
- Cross-screen eventsClick a chiller in the 3D view → KPIs, alerts, and CCTV jump to it.
What it monitors
Eight live data streams. One control room.
Every TwinMs reading is room-aware, floor-aware, and time-stamped. Filter the view to a sensor, a space, a floor, or the whole portfolio.
Energy
Live kWh per floor against a 730-day baseline. SAR cost and savings update on every tick.
Water
Per-floor flow with leak detection. Yesterday vs baseline shown alongside cost variance.
Occupancy
Room-level fill rate against capacity. Drives HVAC and lighting decisions, not just dashboards.
HVAC
Running / off / fault / maintenance — telemetered every 10 seconds, by unit.
Doors & access
Door state and access events tied back to occupancy and security workflows.
Lighting
Per-circuit on/off state, ready for occupancy-driven and schedule-driven automation.
Parking
Bay-level availability. Surfaced to executives and on the way to tenant apps.
Use cases · One platform, many realities
Built once. Applied many ways.
TwinMs is built once and applied many ways. Live in production for facilities — and demonstrated for the operations that move products and people. Same engine, same 3D twin, different domain.

Scope-priority routing
Every reading is checked against a configurable rule set. Rules cascade by scope: sensor → space → floor → type → global, with per-rule cooldown windows so the same fault never spams twice.
- Operators >, <, ≥, ≤, == across all metrics
- Alert lifecycle: Created → Acknowledged → Resolved with timestamps
- Snapshot-store first — alerts surface in milliseconds, not minutes
730-day memory
Anomalies you can trust
Every floor and meter has a 730-day daily-mean baseline, recomputed with a 1-hour cache. So when energy jumps, the dashboard tells you how it compares to two years of the same building, same season.
- Yesterday vs baseline + SAR cost + savings
- Composite IAQ (0–100) with PM2.5 40 % · CO₂ 30 % weighting
- Two-year telemetry seeded — baselines are meaningful day one
Where it comes from
Born from the model that engineered the building.
TwinMs is not built from scratch. It inherits the federated ISO 19650 BIM model the design and engineering team handed over at Stage 6 — the same model used for clash-free coordination, MEP routing, and quantity take-off. One model, two lives: it sells the project before construction, then runs the building long after handover.

What is a digital twin?
A digital twin is a live, operational digital replica of a built asset. It inherits the BIM model delivered at construction handover and connects it to real-time IoT sensor feeds, maintenance records, energy consumption, occupancy data, and CAFM/FM systems. Unlike BIM — which ends when construction completes — a digital twin runs for the asset's full operational life, typically 50+ years, giving facility managers a single source of truth for performance, maintenance, and decision-making.
TwinMs is Design Zone's Saudi-built digital twin platform for buildings and operations, purpose-built for the BIM-to-Twin transition: COBie-structured asset registries, live IoT integration, and direct API connections to Maximo, IBM TRIRIGA, and FM:Systems.
BIM TO TWIN
From BIM model to living twin
- Information requirements (ISO 19650). Asset-information requirements are written into the EIR at project start, so the data a facility team needs on day one of operations is specified before design begins.
- Structured handover (COBie). At construction handover, the federated BIM model's asset data is delivered as COBie-structured registries — spaces, systems, equipment, warranties — not as loose drawings.
- Connection (IoT + CAFM). TwinMs binds the model to live building data and the owner's CAFM/FM environment, so the twin reflects the building as it actually runs.
- Operation. Facility teams navigate the building visually, query any asset's history, and plan maintenance from one environment — the model finally works for the people who run the building.
SAUDI ARABIA
Why digital twins matter for Saudi Arabia now
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 programme is delivering an unprecedented volume of new built assets — and every one of them will be operated for decades after ribbon-cutting. Digital delivery mandates aligned with ISO 19650 mean giga-projects increasingly specify structured, machine-readable asset data at handover: exactly the foundation a digital twin needs. Design Zone delivers this pipeline end-to-end — BIM authoring and coordination during design and construction, ISO 19650 information management throughout, and TwinMs as the operational twin after handover — from its Jeddah headquarters, for projects across the Kingdom.
FAQ
TwinMs questions
Direct answers about digital twins, the BIM-to-Twin transition, and TwinMs delivery in Saudi Arabia.
Is TwinMs a SaaS product?
No — TwinMs is Design Zone's proprietary platform, delivered and configured per client and asset. Engagements start with a demo and a scoping of your building's data sources.
What do we need before starting a digital twin?
A BIM model helps but isn't mandatory. For existing buildings without models, Design Zone captures as-builts via laser scanning (Scan to BIM) and builds the twin from that foundation.
Which FM systems does TwinMs integrate with?
TwinMs ships with COBie-structured asset registries and direct API integration to Maximo, IBM TRIRIGA, and FM:Systems, alongside live IoT feeds.
What is the difference between BIM and a digital twin?
BIM is the static design-and-construction model — geometry plus attribute data delivered at handover. A digital twin is its live operational successor, connected to real-time building data. BIM ends when construction completes; the twin runs for the building's operational life.
Can TwinMs cover a whole portfolio, not just one building?
Yes — the same platform pattern extends from a single asset to campus and portfolio scale; see the facilities, HSE, retail, and Makkah use-cases for deployed patterns.
